Do windows kill eagles?

No, it definitively isn't! If it was your intention to mention societal needs for wind power this entire time, then why didn't you? If you don't mention the societal needs, and merely make unsupported claims that "window

Do cats kill eagles and endangered birds of prey?

by kebman 4y ago
The fact that birds are killed in other places is not an argument for making more bird-killing structures when it can be avoided. Especially when the kinds of birds they tend to kill are endangered birds of prey. That is unless the number o

Alt coins have been bleeding a lot lately. Bitcoin is actually holding up pretty well, considering the latest stock market turmoil.

It's mostly stupid criminals who accept crypto since it's much more easy to trace than cash. Privacy coins are a completely different matter tho.

To each their own I guess. Have fun waiting over 10 seconds each time you turn the stove on and off, much less fiddling about trying to find the damn button. Personally I much prefer the knob. No waiting. Just turn the knob to max in less t

I've only used gas stoves in Romania. I rather enjoyed it, and it heats up stuff much faster than regular electric stovetops. (Barring the induction tops ofc; I haven't owned one of those yet.) I guess it depends on the design, be

I have some friends that need white noise to sleep, and the sound of appliances gives them some of the same feel. Until it beeps. Then they clench their teeth and aggressively finds the nearest pillow to press down over their ears.

The place I rent has a fancy button microwave installed. It's built-in and all the knobs makes it look really cool and scientific. I never use it though, because I brought my own Samsung microwave. It's got two knobs. One for the

UI Hell: The place I'm renting has an IKEA / Whirlpool ceramic top stove. All digital. And I HATE it. You can't find the touch-buttons in the dark, say when you want to make coffee in the wee morn, so you're forced to tu

I think you're right. The guys downvoting you should really try to argue against your argument instead of just trying to make you go away by downvoting. If they cannot make a good argument, then downvoting doesn't make them more r

You can buy or swap it directly from someone else who has crypto without a middleman, and there are services that provide this option for free. For instance this guy bought a car for Bitcoin in Ukraine. ^1 And it saved his life! Depending o

Please refrain from putting words in my mouth. I never said that Bitcoin doesn't have fees. Inventing arguments against things I never said is very uncool. With that said, using Bitcoin to send value across jurisdictions is still sea

XRP is special in that it's distributed, but I wouldn't call it decentralized (so you're completely correct in calling it a crypto with a centralized authority). For instance it's possible for nodes to block other nodes

tl;dr: Nothing. But there are some big caveats to that. Sure, we already have tons of currency transactions going on digitally and on-line, but Bitcoin offers something that the centralized entities cannot, and these are (in no particular o

Small businesses usually can't afford the army of lawyers and lobbyists necessary to make the regulations that favour their company. Meanwhile their bigger competitors more often do. All in all, more regulation often favour bigger play

I remember making inputs into Desmos or some similar graphing package. Gave some pretty interesting and surprising results in that the whole thing broke apart into something more akin to noise. If I indeed did it correctly, then it makes a

I really like the scattering media, and the mathematical figures you can do with it, such as 3D Julia fractals and noise patters to model really rough "stony" surfaces that aren't just bump maps. On top of that I don't t
